How to Install A Door Knob on An Interior Pre-Hung Door

- In this video, I show you how to put in a new door knob on a door already in your home. This door knob hole has already been drilled and is ready for the install. Sounds easy... and it is! I also show you a trick to stop the annoying "loose latch syndrome" that I have encountered so many times.

Anyone else here because their parents don’t know about privacy?
Yess
MORE LIKE MY BROTHER AND HIS GIRLFRIEND
Wait stop thats actually why im here
Yes
Both my parents are deceased. I just bought my second house
This was very helpful, I have to switch out an existing knob for a new one and just wanted an easy explanation of how to do that and this was perfect.
Great to hear! Happy to help!
❤ ❤❤ Wow 😮 super easy to install after watching your video sir ! Thanks for your videos!!!😊
First person to say "throw away "...this thing'" True genius is knowing what to throw away and what to keep, every other 'fix it guy' is just to clever by half ( I'm a long-time rennovator)
Men are amazing aren’t they
You rock, the instructions that came with the knob were so insanely unhelpful. You really saved my grandma and I who installed a new doorknob because were locked in our house due to an old and poorly installed doorknob.
So helpful! Our contractor has ghosted us at the end of a massive remodel. I put on my big girl pants and installed all the door handles with your help. Thank you!
Glad to see it helped!
Thanks for the tip! My cat likes to shake the doors with her paws very early in the morning 😑 This is going to be a life saver.
Mine too! 😆
2022 & your tips still worked! Thank you totally needed this
from a college girl moving into her first apartment 5 hours from home, thank you 🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
Even though this is 2020 now your tips still worked appreciate it🤝
Thank you so much for this video! I just put in a door knob after my boyfriend gave up.
I hope you broke up with that useless mf
Super helpful and learned something new☺
Bro thanks soooo much I saved my life from my parents yelling at me for my doorknob being too loose
frrr
watching this because my dad doesn’t wanna install my new doorknob and he’s a handyman and i want my privacy 😒
💜I can't thank you enough! I had to replace a doorknob after having to dismantle (break) one. (My niece locked herself out of her bedroom 🙄) I found your video right away, and was impressed by the clear, straightforward visual. My intuition was right! Your video was very straightforward, clear, and easy to follow. I thought this would take me at least an hour, but I was done in minutes! Thank you for keeping it simple for DIYers like me!👍💜
Glad to hear that the video helped!
My mom and I really needed to see you toss that useless piece of hardware (2 new novices) that we were spending way to much time on! You saved us much time, great video! Thanks so much!!!
Awesome to hear! Yeah, I have never used it. Thanks for watching and happy to help you out, Vickie!
@@TheFixerHomeRepairDo you know how to remove said piece of hardware in a door? I want to change my door knob but I am not able to remove this thing from the door to place new one in! HELP ME
I was able to achieve this, thanks to you for helping me. Really informative video.
Awesome to hear! Happy it helped you out! Thanks for letting me know!
Thank you! Thanks to you I was able to install the door knob. You have all my gratitude, thank you so very much!
Thk u didnt know it was so easy🎉
Thanks for sharing this video. I'll try fix my kitchen's door
Awesome! Let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
How did it go?!
Hi
Great DIY video. Thank you for doing this, very helpful.
Thank you. I did it myself didn't have to tell my landlord
Thank you for this helpful video! It was very easy to follow and I was able to install a door lock myself!
So what room are you installing this on?
This is my master bedroom. Thanks for checking out the video!
Thank you so much for your upload, this was really helpful straight to the point and easy to follow. I recently gotten me a new door knob, but was worried as hell if I messed up everything on my first try.
thanks dad
Thank you so much for this easily explained video. I’ll be installing it as soon as my locks arrive from Amazon. 🙏
Thank u
A new subbie… great tips! Thank you! 🤩
Thank you SO MUCH! And to think, I was about to hire someone to do this. 😊
This works fine so long as the paint on both the door and the jam are properly cured (at least a week, 4 weeks if you follow paint recommendations). If you repaint your door or frame or both, you cant close the door for weeks without it sticking and ruining the paint job. Pretty sure thats why they leave some play in the door.
Same goes with the hinge side, too close and it will stick or rub.
Hey im just a teen and i've been making my own builds and stuff and i was trying to installa lock door but everytime i try it seems like the lock wouldnt move it just keeps going in a circle and wont unlock does anyone know why?
How come after I put the doorknob on, the doorknob piece that goes into the latch plate, is too small. It doesn’t “click.”
How did you line up the screws that hold the door knob in place so quickly? It always takes me like 10 minutes
I got the mechanism and the whole thing installed but it was to far from the latch and wouldn’t keep the door closed I tried putting pieces of cardboard behind the latch before I drilled it in to push it out and make it connect but it was a loss I can’t really do anything right now
Thank you so much!!!!!!! I was able to do it myself LOL
Thank you so much it was really helpful 🎉🎉 I could change it yayyy😂😅😅
anyone else having difficulty with those to darn screws? why would they put them there, instead of at the top or bottom?
Do any Americans know what the clutch is for on cordless drills , or do you all prefer to strip the screw heads !
Super helpful video! Is it necessary to predrill if I am only using a screwdriver?
I would still pre-drill. The reason for pre drilling is to avoid cracking the frame. It is very easy to do with "new pine growth" wood that these door frames are typically made from. Hope the video helped you out! Thanks for watching!
Yes! Always pre drill otherwise you will crack the door!
“I believe the bit was an 1/8, or even smaller, 3/16ths”…
So what does the cylinder that you threw out at the beginning of the video do?? I have no clue where it goes or what it does.
I just tried replacing two entry door knobs and for whatever reason the new pieces don’t line up with the pre made holes in the doorway. The hole that it’s supposed to latch into is too high. The metal piece when screwed, covers the bottom half of the hole! On one door, the deadbolt scrapes the bottom of the hole and on the other door the latch for the knob scrapes the bottom of the hole as well!!
Without the metal part of course. Cause with it screwed to the door frame it stops it from even entering the hole
I have to trimmed the door a little and now lost the pre taper plate and the inside part goes to far in. How do I make adjustment
Why when I install a door knob the lock is horizontal and the unlock is vertical?? Very flustered!!
Ah good point - I have the same, not that I was paying attention. Not sure if it's fixable
I came here (Jan 2021) to see how to install this knob as a replacement. The round part confused me. Thanks to you, I know I don’t need it. Thanks so much - great video!!
Inside the latch plate. You can pull the tab out alil to take up that space to make the door tight!!
lol the tweens in the comments thinking that swapping out their locks is going to work 🤣
Didn't work. .mine doesn't have bolts
Don’t let the doorknob hit ya where the good lord split ya
The top and the bottom on the inside of the knob (indoor side of the knob) are not identical …I don’t know which way it is supposed to sit, obviously because it just locked myself in the bathroom, twice! When I look at the inside of knob (again the inside part of the knob) it has these slots with tabs coming out . The top or bottom, which is what I can’t discern, has one (horizontal) and the bottom has three (2 horizontal 1 vertical) . I guess this makes no sense. What other reason would I lock myself in the bathroom ? 😩😩😩
😭 the tools will take me 1 day to find goodness this is tough stuff
That little round slot was annoying AF! I came here to see you pitch that POS!😂 Thought I was crazy at first. THANK YOU SIR!
I didn’t have to move mine and do the trick. Mine worked perfectly fine with the latch hole that was there. It didn’t wiggle at all. Thanks you so much for the video ❤❤
Wonderful! Saved $100 by not calling the locksmith. You made the job look so easy
Yeah lol The screw isn't going in for me
My screws seem to not fit . This the second on I got
ALL my existing doors in my house that I just bought ONLY have that little round part. I'm going to have to get a chisel and carve out space for the rectangle part - OR - maybe the new ones all come with that little round piece??
I started the video for just to understand about that annoying piece is about. Great that you clearly mentioned that it is useless. From there on it was a smooth ride. Great video 🎉
Thank you, this worked for me October 2022.
Would think the whole process would be better to video.
Ie the drilling of the door to fit the mechanism into.
Cool, I have to put a door knob in tomorrow, this is very helpful! Thank you
Isn't the airflow.for the AC and heat efficiency?
Thanks I’m currently building my own room and need this since the old knob was busted 👍
What's the diameter of the big hole. Why need such huge hole in the first place?
If this door is locked. This door knob can be unlocked from the outside with a flat head screwdriver. Its not hard to unlock from the outside. With a flat head screwdriver can put it and turn it and it unlocks the door. Avoid this type of door knobs if you what secured privacy lock.
Yeah this is just a "privacy" doorknob. You can obviously get a more secure one if you wanted. The great thing is... the process of installation is the same for all of them!
👍🏾
Hey man thanks for the help
I know how to change doorknobs its just those damn screws that take time to align ....😷😠
Is there an easy way to align those two screws, it's kinda annoying I find it very hard sometimes.
“You’re not really supposed to do this but I do it anyway”
Thank you so much! The instructions it came with was confusing me so much! This made it easier to understand!
I keep having trouble with aligning the screws to thread them into other part
How can I fix my door, that has already been done? Or rather can I correct my door, and do it your way for a tighter seal.
that useless round piece caused me a lot of grief, happy to see it thrown out.
Can we reverse the door knob?
The one that goes the other side can be used inside and the inside knob to outside?
Simple! Thank you for the tutorial.
Does that also prevent slipping a card between the latch?
Thanks so much!!!
How do you pull ii off
Thanks saying the silver piece was useless, made it super easy
You literally helped me do it within 15 minutes
Watched the video to see what the thingy u threw away does. Great video!
Wow people out here homeless and we worried about how to get a door air tight.
Thanks Dude … This was easy and helpful!!
Thank you
Graciasss!!!!!!! Es justo lo q necesito me sirvió muchísimo, ojalá y algún día aprenda mas 🥰😘😁
Thanks! My mom took of my lock and I forgot how to install it
Awesome
Perfect!
What if you don’t have the cut out in the door already? Not for the knob but for the plate that goes on the door side, not the plate on the wall side. Hope that makes sense.
that's when you would use the round piece that he tossed
Great video thanks
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!!!! I was so lost about that little circle piece! Installed my first door knob today because of you!!
Awesome!! Glad it helped! 😃
This was very helpful! I don’t have a father to teach me!!!
Glad the video was helpful!
Has anyone in the US ever thought that if it burns on the inside of a door with a knob, it is impossible to open the door because the skin `melts` off the hand!
If it melts the skin off your hand it is probably a good indication you should not open the door. 😁. Thanks for watching.
we just replaced an interior door knob but it's closing TOO tightly,now what?
You may have to adjust the latch like I showed but go the opposite way with it. Hope it helps. Thanks for checking out the video, Lori!
Great video, thanks !!
Thank you so much fr🤟🏽
Yo hahaha this helped me fixed my stucked door knob lmaoo coz they have the same locks hahah thanks!!!
Great to hear! Happy my video could help! 😁😁
Helpful. Thank you
